We also experience lavish repasts from literature and film, a New Year\u0026amp;#x27;s buffet from 1920s Shanghai and a delivery menu from the hyper-global twenty-first century, and even peek at the tables of the not-so-distant future. Drawing upon decades of experience eating his way around China, Beijing-based historian Thomas David DuBois explains why culinary fashions come and go, as well as recreates dozens of historical recipes in a modern kitchen. From fermented elk to absinthe cocktails, this is Chinese food as you\u0026amp;#x27;ve never seen it before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46857101934750,"sku":"ADS-9781789148619","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781789148619.jpg?v=1779154331","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781789148619","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
